Effects of Chronic Akt/mTOR Inhibition by Rapamycin on Mechanical Overload–Induced Hypertrophy and Myosin Heavy Chain Transition in Masseter Muscle

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013
To examine the effects of the Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway on masseter muscle hypertrophy and myosin heavy chain (MHC) transition in response to mechanical overload, we analyzed the effects of bite-opening (BO) on the hypertrophy and ...

Generative Artificial Intelligence–Driven Clinical Case Simulation in Temporomandibular Disorder Education: ChatGPT Versus Real Patients

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and orofacial pain (OFP) demand advanced diagnostic and clinical reasoning skills in dental education. Traditional simulations with real patients face limitations in availability and standardization.

Location of mechanically-evoked referred sensations within the trigeminal region are not altered following a heterotopic painful stimulus

Scientific Reports, 2022
To investigate whether the location, area and frequency of referred sensations occurring during palpation of the masseter muscle can be influenced by application of a conditioning painful stimulus to the temporalis muscle.

The Musculoskeletal Consequences of Mouth Breathing in Adults: A Systematic Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Chronic mouth breathing can have a negative impact on posture, cause temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), reduced masticatory muscle activity and efficiency, and suprahyoid muscle overuse. Postural changes include a head forward posture and increased lumbar lordosis.

Orofacial Drinking Tremor: A Case Series and Literature Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Task‐specific orofacial tremor is a rare condition in which rhythmic oscillations of orofacial muscles occur during specific actions. Drinking tremor represents a recurrent pattern in isolated reports, although its phenomenology and underlying mechanisms remain incompletely defined.

Exploring the Value of Quantitative Muscle Ultrasound in Neuromuscular Junction Disorders: A Pilot Study

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Quantitative muscle ultrasound (QMUS) is a validated technique for assessing muscle pathology, yet its role in disorders primarily affecting the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) remains unclear. This pilot study aimed to explore whether QMUS is associated with structural muscle changes in patients with acquired or genetic NMJ ...

A Possible Case of Temporomandibular Joint Dislocation, Trepanation, and Metabolic Bone Disease in a Young Adolescent From North‐Central Myanmar (1000–700 bce)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This osteobiography explores the life history of an adolescent who lived during the early‐mid Bronze Age (c. 1000–700 bce) and was buried at Nyaung'gan, a site in north‐central Myanmar. Burial 3b had multiple skeletal lesions, and their bones were covered in well‐remodeled subperiosteal new bone.
